Behemoth Crag  

Behemoths and Ancient Behemoths are level 7 creatures of Stronghold town. They are recruited from the Behemoth Lair (while the external dwelling is Behemoth Crag).

"The attack of these giant creatures is so overwhelming it reduces their target's ability to mount further defenses. The attack of the behemoth reduces target defense value by 40%. Ancient behemoth attacks reduce it by 80%." RoE manual

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

Need to fix one or more of these possible problems with the user commentary text:
  • escape equals signs with {{=}} (not including the ones used to create section headings)
  • replace <div style="clear:left;"></div> with {{clear|left}}


The defense is reduced only for the behemoths' attack, and is returned to normal immediately after that.

An Ancient Behemoth is among the few recruitable level 7 creatures that can defeat an Archangel in one-on-one combat, another example being the Haspid from Horn of the Abyss expansion. (A Titan can also defeat an Archangel one-on-one by defending 4 times and then attacking).

Analysis of the specialty ability

They ignore 40%/80% of the opponents defense. Depending on their attack value to the opponents defense Value, there are two scenarios:

  • Scenario I: The Behemoths have more attack than the defending creature (then, every attack they have more than the defending creature incraeses their damage by 5%)
  • Scenario II: The Behemoths have less attack than the defending creature (then, every defense the defending creature has more decreases the damage taken by 2.5%)

Now, let's see how much this is for some attack/defense values.
